The purpose of the group is to connect people interested in Hawaii and expanding the Aloha spirit in their lives. It is a gathering of those who have a heart connection to the islands of Hawaii and/or Polynesia and are seeking to find others connected to the islands! If you have lived there, desire to live there, have visited and felt the heart expand there, or are just curious as to what the spirit of Aloha is about and would like to learn more, please join us! All are welcome! Some amazing connections and relationships have formed from previous attendees.

Topics will vary each month and might include hula, authentic Hawaiian food, Hawaiian music, an introduction to the Hawaiian language, chants, discussions on ho'oponopono, Huna, and more.

To see each month's schedule join us on Meet-Up under Charlotte, NC - Hawaii Aloha Spiritual Group. Please RSVP if you are coming! Donation Basis

Just as acupuncture is an age-old therapy that is now becoming more mainstream, light therapy (or phototherapy) is now stepping into the "limelight". Phototherapy was practiced in ancient Egypt, China, Greece and India.

How does it all work you ask? Light streams photons to our bodies - tiny packets of energy with a number of beneficial effects such as restoring balance to the system. According to clinical studies, light therapy has been shown to increase energy; stimulate collagen, ATP and nitric oxide; reduce pain and inflammation; and reduce stress.
